A Chicken Meal And A Bookfair

It has been some time since I visited Red Kettle at The Starling.

So last Friday I decided to pop by for an early dinner.

This is one of those restaurants that is best visited at odd hours so that you don't have to compete with the crowd for a table.

My usual Flat White, as good as ever.

This is something new on the menu, Percik Grilled Chicken, described a "Boneless charcoal grilled chicken maryland in percik sauce, urab tempeh – eggplant, cauliflower, tomato, quinoa, corn & ulam".

I might complain that the portion size of the chicken could be more generous.

The percik sauce was a respectable interpretation of the Kelantan or Terengganu version. This would be very nice eaten with rice.

As for the urab (salad) I liked it, slightly sweet and savory with hints of coconut and peanuts.

Then it was off to the Popular Bookfair (today is the last day).

I was just there to look-see-look-see. I have enough books to keep me going for now.

Romance. Ugh! Anyone (old enough) to remember those Mills & Boons (and God forbid Barbara Cartland) romance paperbacks?

I was a young teen then and those books were circulating at school LOL! I read one and could not understand what the hype was about. 

Not a fan of fantasy either - I like the real thing - non-fiction.

Now where are the books for the old adults?

Ah! A cat section hee...hee.... Loads of cute cat paraphernalia and collectibles.

This is where I did some serious browsing although I hoped that I would not find something that I could not resist.

This is interesting. But I know enough about keto, so I should keep my money.

After learning about the nutritional profile of a vegan diet, this is not for me.

I have this book, Revenge by Tom Bower, and it makes for interesting reading. At RM28.00, very worth it.

Anyone wanting to complete their When I Was A Kid collection can do so at a 20% discount.

Besides books, there are also toys galore to keep the kids happy. So that was my visit to the bookfair and I left empty handed.
